Have seen this issue a few of times. Once on my Megane 265, disconnected battery and reconnected after 10 minutes and it was fine. Then during my service days with Renault I saw it twice, once was caused by the crankshaft/camshaft sensor (not 100% sure which) and the second time was the...

Just to bump this, is there any guide on what torque setting to use when fitting these? Will go for Locite 272 based on recommendations. :smile:

So after a few emails back and forth and a quote of circa £500 for the 4 calipers to be overhauled and refurbished in bronze I’ve decided to stick with red lol. I am possibly going to go down the route of buying new from Renault (certainly on the rear calipers) as my staff discount is high...

For a reputable bodyshop I would expect to pay £500+ for the tailgate and bumper to be painted.

Thank you mate for that link. Sound like a good option! Think I’ll just buy grey rear calipers (service exchange) from Renault and have them paint them. Will need to get all 4 done bronze for it to look the part! My fronts are in good condition, but I will either overhaul them or else but a used...

Pretty sure there is a shortage of 97RON here at the minute (we don’t get any higher than 97RON). Standard 95RON is currently hovering around 129. Seems to happen this time of year every year! Good weather, bank holidays etc = people out for day trips, using car more so hike the price of fuel up.

Not much been happening, just been driving away at the car and headed to a few cars and coffee meets. I have been putting together a list of things which will be getting an overhaul over the next while. Including; • Both rear calipers - paint is bubbling on both and coming off on the n/s so...

Very nice indeed! Not sure on the bonnet vents but that’s probably because I’d never cut out panels on my own car lol. Speedlines are a great wheel so will look epic with those on!

+ 1 for Mr Pink. Tried and tested for years by dozens of members.

Tough Coat is a good shout for them, it’s what I used on mine when I had an R27. Just as a shameless plug, I’m able to sell Rejuvenate, Tough Prep and Tough Coat at around the same RRP as AF currently have it for. Have both 250ml & 500ml of it all (except Rejuvenate I only have 250ml) :wink...

Yes by having the tailgate replaced (on both cars) under the anti corrosion warranty.

This car is outstanding. Just a perfect looking example. I bet you love summertime!?

Every manufacturer is the same when I new generation is released. The Focus RS for instance has been plagued with cylinder head issues from day 1. Another example (non performance) which I have had first hand experience with having worked in a Nissan service department was the latest gen Qashqai...

Unfortunately that’s not up to you to decide, it’s not even up to the dealership to decide. Each case is individual and to be honest I’d be surprised if they covered that. Re if the tailgate has been painted, a quick paint depth reading will soon tell if it’s been painted or not. Have you check...

I wouldn’t worry about it too much, I’d just keep an eye on the level between now and when you are having the car serviced. Out of interest, I am guessing the message you are getting is when you turn the car on? If so what does the level show when you press one of the buttons on the end of the...

What date was your car first registered? Pre July 2010 would indicate the earlier style (larger) top mounts.

I was pretty sure that part of the instrument panel was only used on the automatics. Where it would show P, N, R etc!

I have a 200 and it doesn’t have that feature. I don’t think any of the Clio 3 RS have that option?

It looks brilliant. They are a great looking car, definitely a shape that has grown on me and I’m sure others! I’m not saying I’ll buy one as I will be keeping my 200 for a while yet, but I’d love to change the other half’s car for one. Her commute is a round trip of 3 miles, boot space may...

That looks brilliant lowered and on the Sparcos. I’m getting the loan of a 220T from work in the couple of weeks for a weekend and can’t wait to try it out!
